THAILAND. Airports of Thailand (AOT) is to extend a range of assistance measures for concessionaires and airlines affected by the COVID-19 outbreak at the six airports covered by the authority – Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, Bangkok Don Mueang International, Phuket International, Chiang Mai International, Hat Yai International and Mae Fah Luang-Chiang Rai International.
As reported, AOT had already introduced a -20% reduction in fixed monthly concession charges from 1 February 2020 to 31 January 2021. In December 2020, those measures were extended until 31 March 2022, with some variance (dependent on passenger traffic) at different locations.
